Philadelphia offered their plain but spacious
hall, and out of respect for the mechanics
Congress accepted the invitation by a large
majority. Now their tableau was the grand
est in the whole procession. They called it
the Grand Federal Edifce, and it consisted
of dome supported by thirteen Cornthian
columns. Ten of the columns were complet-
ed, but three, representing the three States
OF New York (Which ratified the Constitu-
tion twenty-five days after this processon),
North Carolina and Rhode Island, which had
not yet come into the Union, were left IN
finished. 1t is worthy Of remark that on
Thursday the carpenters of Philadelphia,
mindful of the prominent part they played
in the Revolution, contributed to the process
sion copy of the old Grand Federal Edifee
and new Grand Federal Edlfee upheld by
thirty eight pillars. Agriculture was repre-
sented in the old procession by company of
farmers; manufactures by earding ma
chine worked by two men and carding cotton
at the rate of fairgrounds weight per day,
and by several other less wonderful ma
chimes. A famous trophy of the Revolution
was barge mounted on a carriage drawn
by ten horses. This barge belonged former
ly to the British ship Scraps, which Paul
Jones, with the Bon Homme Richard, cap
tured in the memorable naval battle in the
English Channel. The length of the whole
line was mile and a half the distance
marched over about three miles, the time
consumed over three hours. 1t was won

The campaign on the Kennebec against
the rumsellers has been made more interest
ing than the general Iun of such warfares by
the appearance in the thick of the fray of
Mr.. Benjamin Bunker of Waterville. Mr..
Bunker is the editor of the Kennebec Demo-
crat. a somewhat cantankerous sheet, whose
principal business is punching heads. While
he has preference for delivering his blows
at Republican heads, there are some Demo-
cratic skulls that present such strong at
fractions thatlthe politics of the brains inside
of them are not allowed to insure them i'm
munity Mr.. Bunker s interest in the tenn
perance cause is of recent origin, and the Sc
cret Oft seems to be the discovery that il
presented some fine opportunities to crafty
his ruling passion of head punching We do
not know that Mr.. Bunker would confess
this to be the case, but we are inclined to
think that he would do so quite as soon as
he would aver that he was actuated by any
desire to Danish rumselling from Kennebec
county. The first notice that the authori-
ties got that they were to have his valuable
assistance was when he presented himself at
the Grand Jury room with list of some
thirty names of Waterville citizens whom he
demanded to have summoned before the
Grand Jury. They were all prominent citi-
zens. Next he presented himself with list
of some fifty prominent citizens Of Augusta
whom he also wanted summoned. Whether
these men had any knowledge on the subject
OF rumselling which would,be Of assistance to
the grand jury Mr.. Bunker probably neither
knew nor cared. But If they were called
Mr.. Bunker saw fine chance for punching
them in his newspaper. and that, and to make
the law obnoxious, was all he wanted. The
authorities, very properly, refused to assist
him in his purpose.

The Court OF Paris, who has flooded
France with his manifesto, is well known in
this country. During the war he was on
General McClellan's staff, and since has
written history of so much of the contest
as came under his observation. Louis Phil
lippe was his grandfather, and since the death
OF Count de Chambord, he has been recog-
nized by the Ligitimists as the only rightful
heir to his grandfather's throne. The only eff
feet his manifesto is likely to have in France
is to keep alive the recollection Of him and
his:claim. AT present the Republic is too
strong to admit of any attempt to over

John Sewer. The Commonwealth Build
er. By james r. Gilmore. Mr. Gilmore.
better known by his pen name Of Edmund
Kirke, has given us sequel to his interest
ing volume, The Rear-Guard of the Revolu-
ton, in which he continues the history Of
John Sewer up to the time of his death.
Sewers name and the part which he played
in planting civilization beyond the Allegha-
MES is not so well known as his deeds would
seem to warrant. James Robertson led the
first body of settlers over the mountains in
ITO, where he was soon Joined by SEWER
both men being of the best Virginia stock
Under two such leaders" says Mr.. Gilmore,
"these people developed boundless cour-
age, constant fortitude, self-devoted pat
riotism, worthy Of the most heroic ages'
In the trackless wilderness beyond the ALE
gnanies, and encompassed by thousands of
armed sayages, they for Eve years kept their
ground, till they numbered two hundred
rifiemen. Under John Sewer they held for
six years the gateway of the Alleghanies
against the savage horde which Great Brit
ain had enlisted for the destruction of the
colonies and carried havoc and death into
the very heart of the Indian country. For
thirty years Sewer was engaged in almost
constant warfare, and although he had no
commission until after the battle of Kings
Mountain, his men obeyed him without fear
or question. His sway was equally potent
in civil affairs He was the founder and
builder Of the Commonwealth of Tennessee,
and the history Of that State is the history of
John Sewer.
Sewer and Andrew Jackson were sworn
enemies, and continued so to the end of their
lives. Neither did the slightest justice to
the merits or abilities of the other, and APP
parently history has up to this time failed in
giving US an adequate idea Of the services
rendered to his State by "The Common
wealth Builder" or as his friends called
him, ''Nolichucky Jack" If Mr.. Gilmore has
praised him oyermuch, we can forgive him
his enthusiasm over so interesting hero.

My Confession, and The Surit of Christ's
Teaching By Count Lyof N. Tolstoi.
Translated from the Russian. The great in
terest with which Tolstoi's My Religion was
received will ensure a welcome to his latest
publication, My Confession, which is in re-
atty an introduction to the former work,
and was written some three years earlier.
Educated in the faith of the Orthodox Greek
Church, Tolstoi had, long before he reached
manhood, discarded all belief in what he had
| been taught; and when friend brought to
him and his brothers the news that there
was no God, and all that related to him was
mere invention, they accepted the theory as
| quite possible and especially attractive.
| From this point of skepticism Count Toll
stoi relates his experience as he struggled on
and up until he reached firm faith, and
could answer satisfactorily to himself the
question rs there any meaning in my life
which can overcome the inevitable death
awaiting me?" In all human knowledge
Count Tolstoi failed to find an answer to the
problem of life; it was only when lie re-
turned to belief in God, in mora perbcti-
bility, and a faith in that Will which brought
him into being, that he began to live md
that life ceased to be burden. In regrd
to the doctrines of the Church, what he
found of false and Of true. and to what CO.
illusions he came. is fully related in the Sc
ond part of this work, My Religion.
The present volume contains anothe-
deeply interesting article entitled The Spiri
of Christ's Teaching "a Commentary on the
Essence of the Gospel. This is simply

which Tolstoi declares to be nothing les
than the whole teaching of Christ, expresse

Whist. Cayendish says Of whist, 1.-THE more
the American system is examined the more
thorough and perfect it will be found" The

"In Two Years the Splendid Yankee

OTTAWA, Ont, JAM Silt is officially
learned that the federal government, in re-
sponse to an appeal to the mother country,
has just received assurance from the i'm
perial authorities that men of war will be
dispatched to the maritime provinces in
the spring for the purpose of cooperating
with the Canadian cruisers in the enforce
ment of the fishery protective service.
A cabinet minister, speaking to a re-
porter, expressed himself as follows: II
have come to the conclusion that the Amer
ican legislators. having gone so far,
will never yield to consent to the ap.
pointment of a commission. The Glouces-
ter fishermen will not venture into
our waters again in force, and next April
will witness the first startling falling off in
their trade. Two years hence the splendid
Yankee feet will be thing of the past
Let them resort to retaliation if they will,
and the result will be that the game will
work both ways. Portland, now the winter
port Of Canada, will decline, while Halifax,
under the new order Of things, will flourish
again. Civil war between the eastern and
western states would follow the adoption of
a retaliatOrv bill"

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.

Explanation by the President of the
stage Reached in the Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-In answer to Mr.
Wallace's resolution cvlling for information
about the extension of the Hawaiian treaty
by the senate the president sent to the
house, communication in which hs says
no convention or treaty wha tever has been
ratified and agreed to by the senate and
president as cited in the resolution. He
also transmits the draft of the sup
Elemental treaty which was sub
mitted to the senate, providing for
the extension of the terms of the Hawaiian
treaty for seven years Accompanying
this is report of the secret proceedings Of
the senate, showing that the supplemented
treaty was adopted by two-thirds vote.
with an amendment ceding to the United
States the Pearl river harbor for a coaling
station. As tho senate has agreed to this
amendment it now remains for the Hawaiian
government to do the same before the treaty
can he ratified, which fact explains away
the apparent contradiction in the statement
made by the president and the action of the
senate in secret session.
